The Axy-Trek Mini is a small data logger with GPS and tri-axial accelerometer. Pressure/temperature (TDR), light sensors and water-switch can be included in this device. This combination allows a new range of behavioural studies such as the identification of the time budget behaviour performed by an animal in relation to its spatiotemporal position. Axy-Trek was used in several species of reptiles, birds, and mammals. 

Pressure sensor (TDR) for the aquatic animals can be used to identify dive depth up to 300 meters. A dedicated pressure sensor for flying animals can measure flight altitude.

The accelerometer or the pressure sensor or the wet/dry sensor can all be used to switch on/off the GPS to reduce battery consumption.

Axy-Trek is highly customizable to meet all possible research needs, and be used in a wide range of species. Available with a high-efficiency solar panel.

 

Key features:

  • Small size from 24x14x7 mm and weight 4.5 g with splash-proof
  • Waterproof casing durability guarantee up to 30 atm (300 meters depth)

AGM

AGM is a miniaturized tri-axial accelerometer datalogger with magnetometer, gyroscope and temperature sensor. Accelerometer measures the acceleration of the body along with three directions and allows you to characterise different behavioural patterns or calculate energy expenditure. The magnetometer and gyroscope allow researchers to collect information about the orientation and movement direction of the study animal at high frequency.
